What I'm looking for

I’m actively seeking roles in Nigeria, Europe, Australia, or New Zealand that harness both sports coaching and business development—delivering physical education programmes, athlete development, and organisational growth while supporting ongoing postgraduate study.

I’m a Physical Education graduate and Sports Coach with added expertise in business development, strengthened through hands-on experience at OPay, a leading fintech platform. I’m adept at identifying growth opportunities, building strategic partnerships, and driving measurable outcomes in fast-paced environments.

I bring a rare combination of sports coaching proficiency and commercial business acumen to deliver impactful physical education programmes, athlete development initiatives, and organisational growth. From monitoring UNICEF’s Nigeria Learning Passport rollout to supporting sports facility readiness and youth engagement programmes, I focus on practical delivery, curriculum-aligned outcomes, and technology-enabled impact.
